I have the water bottle, small first aid kit, a psk, fire kit in the compass pouch, I carry my phone and a bandanna in the black pouch on the back, the mora, the hatchet, and a coil of cord. It weighs about 8 pounds loaded. My camera will fit in the front too.

ive had a couple of people ask to see my felling axe in the past, so i thought id add it to this thread, made by Elwell with 4.5Lb head, i have no idea how old this is, but is aint a young un for sure, ive not used this for a little while (chainsaws are so much less effort) now and the edge could really do with a damned good sharpen looking at it, might do that tomorrow

I love that double bit, Creek. What is that giant slab of wood it's stuck in?

That's the near bottom slice of a big ole oak that fell last fall and took the power out for about 3 days. It's about 5 feet in diameter and we figure it weighs 3 hundred pounds. Great for tossing axes at!

well..it's a true temper black raven and as collectable as it gets. Funny...I was just wondering if you want to edge it. I just want it super cleaned. Not ground..if that makes sense. The edges, rough wacker vs chopper, are quite plain. I really don't want much metal removed, but I know you could shine it right up!

I have a really fine grit belt that would really just polish it more than anything else. We can talk about it on the phone sometime.

Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? One should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved.

These are a couple of axes I made. Of course, they're a bit smaller than your normal axes. I made them in a jewelry class I took a few years back. Both are sterling silver. The one on the left was made with a piece of square wire that was twisted for a handle area. The bit and spike were cut out of sheet with a jeweler's saw and then soldered on to the wire. All shaping was done with jeweler's files and sandpaper. The axe on the right started as wax, then cast in silver.
